The Moire Effect (pronounced more-ay): a trippy interference of stripey patterns that can often be seen in photos. Erm…for a better idea of it, take a look at this Moire T-shirt video!
Warning: do not operate heavy machinery while observing the Moire Effect.
And don’t wear a thinly stripped shirt when on TV ;)
Yes, something to definitely avoid.
Pretty funny web site. No need to hire a social media guru, the work is done for you here. Social media strategies, they make it up so you don’t have to: whatthefuckismysocialmediastrategy.com
I’m just reaffirming my love for David Lynch’s Interview Project. I do think it’s one of the best things on the internet. So, so good.
So very true.

Check out this video. It’s a discussion I had about bi-racial hair with Al Letson and Hari Kondabolu for the Skin You’re In series on WorldCompass.
In the first part of the video a young girl vents her frustration with her hair through spoken word poetry. In the latter part of the video (at the 5 minute mark), we talk about (or I talk about) our own frustrations. I admit to spending about an hour straightening my hair with the ol’ heat iron… and it just ends up getting wavy at best. Bad hair days take a whole new level when you have very curly hair… and my hair is cloud puff curly. Many times I love it, and other times I just want to shave it all off. But what’s interesting is how through that frustration we can achieve a deep type of self-acceptance. Mainly because the hair will not give you a choice. It’s like a weed. :)
I’m curious to know from the curly-headed mop crew (especially the girls), do you notice a difference in the way people react to you when you wear your hair curly? When I wear it curly, people think I’m just wild and creative, when it’s straight I get taken more seriously, especially at meetings. What’s your take?
The Secret Powers of Time.
Really cool animated lecture. Professor Philip Zimbardo conveys how our individual perspectives of time affect our work, health and well-being. Time influences who we are as a person, how we view relationships and how we act in the world.

Fun stuff: Today I’ll be a guest on TWiT’s FourCast Podcast, where four people make crazy technological predictions about the future, 10, 100, 10,000 years from now. Should be a good time because I just might make a fool of myself. You can tune in Live at 4pm PST at http://live.twit.tv.
With hosts Scott Johnson, Tom Merritt and fellow guest Casey McKinnon.
Hey! Thanks for the question.
After importing footage from the 7D, I convert it using MPEG Streamclip, it’s a free video converter for both Mac and PC. It works great and I’ve never had a problem with it.
List —> Batch List (Command B)—> Import your list of videos —>Export to Quicktime —> Click OK —> Select destination folder —> Compression: Apple ProRes 422 (LT) —> Quality 100% —>Uncompressed, Stereo, Sound 48 kHz (I use audio recorded externally, but keep the audio so I can sync it in the timeline) —> Frame size —> 1280x720 (HDTV 720p) —>Frame Rate: 29.97 (make it match the frame rate you recorded in, and make sure your FCP/Premiere Pro timeline settings match as well), Frame Rate: Uncheck “Interlaced Scaling,” Click “Make Movie”
I then import that footage into FCP. If all the settings are correct, they should all import seamlessly and you shouldn’t have any rendering issues.
I highly endorse this!
I applied to be Tumblr’s Community Intern, y’all. I shot this video because everyone knows I like to wildly gesticulate as I explain things. For more: http://anniefor.tumblr.com
What Happened in My Birth Year?
Type in your birth year. A bittersweet story of pop-culture and your place in the world. “What path have you taken?”

No generation has ever had as much of what it needs to change the world so early. In the long-run, however, whether we live up to that promise will be largely based on how we define success in our personal lives, and how that translates to our professional endeavors. If we decide in five years that money and comfort is the primary objective, we’ll compromise left and right and quickly learn to the next group to pick up where we left off. If, instead, we define success to include not only money but impact and engagement, it will change the entire structure of our economy.

Only person who ever noted this resemblance was a neighbor of ours years ago. But of course I wholeheartedly agree! :p
Is it just me, or does Steve Woolf look exactly like Eric Bana?
